Nice one Carl! :)

Razors: C V Heljestrand no 8 + Mk 30
Cream/AS: Proraso

Result: Uberclean, again :D
Honed them up yesterday and today they delivered a fantastic and the best shave in a long while. Wow, it feels a little bad though, since I only honed on a hunch - Choseras 600, 1000 (another stone), 2000, 5000 and 10k + CBN on a felt paddle. I'm no pro and have no clue why it worked so well (ignorance's a bliss :)), but I'm one happy and smooth camper :D
